What is the challenge?

“Universities have a responsibility to be more responsive to the needs of student and faculty innovators and researchers. It is time to get a reform underway, fast.”

–The Chronicle of Higher Education, July 2015

Academic innovation requires technology researchpartnership to bring the most cutting‐edge materialsto students and faculty. 

Over three‐fourths (84%) of the universitiessurveyed found it difficult to keep up‐to‐datewith applied technology books and journals.

• Full‐text PDF viewing that allows copy, paste, and printing capabilities

InfoSci-Books Reviews and Testimonials• "A major strength of the database is a common repository of these publications that hasn't existed before this time… The timeliness of information is improved because publications can be made accessible before the paper copy is received in the mail. In the past, one had to wait for the distribution of journals to gain access to them (in a library setting, or university distribution center this may take longer than one would think). The online system means access to information anywhere and at any time. This is critical for many researchers who are working at home, in the office, or perhaps even abroad."‐ Shirley A. Becker, PhD, Northern Arizona University

• "This database is excellent for locating a wide range of documents which will be of use to me and my students."‐ Susan Myburgh, PhD, University of South Australia, Australia

• "It's really provides an excellent entry into the research literature of the field. It presents a manageable number of highly relevant sources on topics of interest to a wide range of researchers. The sources are scholarly, but also accessible to 'practitioners'."‐ Lisa Stimatz, MLS, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

• Full‐text PDF viewing that allows copy, paste, and printing capabilities

InfoSci-Journals Reviews and Testimonials• "It is not only about the wide coverage of the database, it is about the quality of the contributions. In certain areas, Information Technology, for instance, it is normal to discover a handful of relevant papers published in the last months covering up‐to‐date technologies recently launched."‐ Dr. Ricardo Colomo‐Palacios, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain

• "InfoSci®‐Journals is a treasury for researchers, educators, R&D engineers, and managers. Going beyond the boundaries of professional fields of IT/IS, it extends its range to be more interdisciplinary. InfoSci®‐Journals database provides high‐level, valuable articles with insights and implications for experts in educational, managerial, and governmental fields. Teachers and professors can also find interesting teaching cases in this prestigious database.‐ Chia‐Wen Tsai, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Management, Ming Chuan University, Taiwan

• "I have faculty in my computer science department chomping at the bit for this kind of content!"‐ Lia Hemphill, Nova Southeastern University, USA
